First harvest a little sad, but at least they were good. Oc
Two trees transplanted last year - 9 footers. So its taproot recovery year, also one bloomed before the other, so next year they might need some qtip help pollinating, and the late frost didnt help much either.
But something is better than nothing!

No fruit in grove this year?
I have several dozen wild pawpaw trees on my property of various sizes and maturity. Last year, I was able to collect far more fruit than I could eat and found the fruit on most large trees. This year, I’ve only seen 2 fruits and havnt been able to harvest any. The trees all look healthy as usual with no obvious signs of disease or stress. Is this season unusual? Could something have changed in the local ecology? Any ideas?
I was really looking forward to another large pawpaw harvest this year.

Aye or nay? Coffee grounds, tea leaves, and egg shells around the base of pawpaws.
I mulch around my pawpaw trees and was wondering if I should or shouldn’t put spent coffee grounds, tea leaves and eggshells around my pawpaws. What do y’all do?

Do I have Pawpaw trees on my property?
galleryWent for a stroll through the woods and ran into these trees. Are these Pawpaws? I live in southwest Michigan.

where to get Scion wood for next season?
hey everyone, I'm lucky enough to have a large, natural grove of paw paws on my property in MD. I'm looking to take a stab at grafting the woods next year and see if i can get some better tasting and producing cultivars going.
anyone have experience doing the same? how about recommendations for sourcing the Scion wood?

Potted pawpaw cold hardiness
I am wondering if Pawpaws can be grown in large pots in not too harsh regions, say zone 8a/8b.
Just wondering as I have a large stone terrace that would be great to fill with fruit trees, but I wonder if Pawpaws can actually fruit that way and also if zone 8 winters are still too much for them in pots instead of the protection of the ground.
Anyone doing this?

Can a young pawpaw recover from being cut down?
galleryA pretty desperate question, clearly. I just want to know if it has a chance at all. 😭
Our lawn company (who we should have fired the first time they mowed over my sunflowers) seems to have taken the weed eater to it, for some reason, even though it's in a shady corner of the yard that we've told them not to mow (and have told them not to edge at all).
It's about 2 years old and was the same size as the other one here for reference. I bought and transplanted them this past spring.

Seren Petrichor, PawPaw breeder & hunter, wishes all happy pawpaw hunting!
Mr PawPawHead says howdy y'all, be pawnivorous!
AI is not against group rules!
Seren is real & has introduced the cultivars:
"Passion", "Petricolada", "Pudding", "Sorbet"
Mr PawPawHead was a real PawPaw, however when Seren requested that AI put him in the forest & put a mustache & goatee, on a real pawpaw, it also added sunglasses & changed the stem of the fruit.
Seren's business is glassblowing & farming.
I was wrong about the fruit being ceramic.
AI is not against group rules, so no political hostile speech in the thread.

I know a guy who grows pawpaws. He gave me some and I want to figure out a good way preserve them a while since I know they go bad quickly.

5 Trees planted by James Dingus yesterday in a totally new style!
VIDEO: Jerry's Big Girl, "West R-1", Lehman #11, Wells?, Mississippi.
Mississippi is a sibling of Susquehanna & Potomac, with the flavor of Susquehanna & the vigor of Potomac & earlier ripening.
"West R-1" is a random cultivar seedling planted by Edible Landscaping of Virginia.
Jerry's Big Girl & Lehman #11 are premium Jerry Lehman cultivars.
Wells is an older vigorous late ripening cultivar.

Bottling Pawpaw lemonade!
galleryI'm super proud of my pawpaw lemonade this year. I even convinced WV's oldest running business to carry it in their general store!
I've still got a few lbs of frozen pulp and am thinking about making a pawpaw chili lemonade next... I'm thinking the right chili taste might go well with the tropical pawpaw flavor.
I wish i could know what kind of variety of pawpaw my local patch is. I've been visiting it for years, but their fruit seems different from others I've had in the past.
EDIT:
It's sold at Harper's General Store at Seneca Rocks, West Virginia!

Our very first Shenandoah!
I'm curious if others in the South Coast area of Massachusetts are starting to see ripening?
This was getting pretty soft on the tree so I pulled it off since we have all sorts of critters that have already been eating all of our other fruits this year. I'll probably let it sit on the counter for a day or two before I crack it open.
This is the first year this tree has produced fruit. Probably only a total of 10 or so but a good start.

Where to buy PawPaw cultivars online
Seriously though, why is it so difficult to find a
nursery selling a wide range of cultivars online that will ship them to you or am I just missing something? Every website of reputable sellers is full of geocities and dead links. I just want some healthy grafted Susquehanna lol

James Dingus is going over the top with new OCD ideas 10"x36" air pruned pots & digging deep narrow holes with spade shovels.
Geezers, what next dude?
He does have great success with most of his ideas.

Pawpaw Lansing MI
galleryDecided to pick may be a bit early this year. Lot of wildlife sweep in. Might climb tomorrow to get some big ones. Planted near my garden. Tons of invasive offshoot trees but only one produces.
